Step 1: Gathering the materials

It is usually best to use a Nerf gun that has a single barrel to put Nerf bullets in.

** If you want a longer barrel, you will need more than one pen. Just use some duct tape to attach two together. Just keep in mind, the longer the barrel, usually the more accurate. But, the more barrels you add the more of a chance the bullet will shoot off course because of imperfect taping.

Step 2: Making the barrel

To make the barrel, take the pliers and pull off the top and the back of the pen. Make sure you get a pen that the bottom and top come off easily. I went to Dollar General and bought 20 pens for $1.50, and they come apart very easily. If the bottom will not come off with blunt force, feel free to cut the bottom off.

You will also need to slighty crush the end of the barrel if the bullet will roll anywhere you don't want it to, like into the gun.

Step 3: Attaching the barrel to the gun

It is not necessary to actually tape in the barrel, just wrap the tape around the end of the pen barrel until when you insert the pen into the gun barrel it fits very snuggly, and does not fall out.

Maybe for what is available in Australia, but go on yutube abd look up American airsoft guns from brands like G&G, King Arms, WE, Dboys, etc. and you will see why people are saying to just buy one. Check out my link, I'm sure you could use it in a nerf gun.

Yes no one relized that But any ways if you look at the picture the kids like seventeen so why in the world would he have a real one AND if your seventeen why is this kid wearing cardboard instead of a sweatshirt

what gun did you use? i used a tech target gun and it leaves welts at 35+ ft. cardboard? pffft... t layers with rubber band mod and simple 2 pen hopper will shoot 20 rounds a fast as you pull back the cock thing.

If the gun is broke, its broke, nothing you can do, but if it isn't broken, make sure that the barrel is sealed where it meets the gun, if the gun is not sealed properly, the air escapes and cannot propel anything
